Jake has scheduled the appointment. The vasectomy train has left the station.

We’re all so very different, girls. I know several of you who were devastated to see your spouse go in for the procedure. Your reason? No more pregnancy, no more babies. Finality.

I, on the other hand, am perfectly happy to let Jake get snipped. My reason? No more pregnancy, no more babies. Finality.

This is not an impulsive decision – I assure those of you who want to jump down our throats for acting too soon, or for acting whilst in the throes of newbornhood. Jake and I both grew up in families of four. It’s what we know. It’s also impossible to picture where another child would sleep in our little cottage. Or where the money would come from to clothe them. Or where the sanity would come from to parent them.

So we’re throwing in the towel, and we’re beyond excited to stop here. Because seriously, how cute is this little bunch? Best to stop while we’re ahead.

Hey, I was surprise you guys went from 0 to 1, and then 1 to 2! Thank you for sharing. For me it is so hard to figure out. My Dad got snipped and then they did a reversal, couldn’t get pregnant, looked into adoption, etc. (we actually had a foster daughter for about a year when I was a kid)…which is probably why it’s hard to decide for us, me 🙂 Maybe one more…maybe no more…very hopeful NOT to get pregnant any time soon 🙂 Loving our 1 and only baby Annabelle…plan to keep it that way…at least for the next 5 years.

I asked the doctor if I could watch- just to make sure it was done right! Here’s the freedom and joy in your relationship: after a married lifetime of thinking of birth control you can have sex with abandon….if you’re not too tired…which you are…but they grow up and really its very cool. Schedule that wiggler count and follow up visit!
